While traditional computing business for PC, laptop, mainframe is currently struggling, and new personal computing is growing at a reasonable pace, we believe that the next large growth opportunity for computing lies with low cost, pervasive computing. The new embedded systems, The Internet of Things, and next generation devices will be the driver for the next leg of substantial growth in the computing industry.

New report "Low Cost Pervasive Computing: Market Opportunities in Embedded Computing and The Internet of Things" worked out by Mind Commerce has been recently published by Market Publishers Ltd.

The report evaluates developments in low cost computers including an analysis of technology evolution, solutions, and positioning of key companies in the industry. It includes an evolution of computing, analysis of leading companies and solutions, analysis and forecast of computing in key industry verticals, and evaluation of opportunities for embedded computing with forecasts. The report also includes information about key technologies and solutions driving the marketing for low cost computing including M2M communications, presence detection, location determination, IPv6, and more.
